Abstract excerpt
Information about linkage disequilibrium (LD) is important in understanding the genome structure and has its applications in association studies. Here we present the first genome-wide LD study based on a founder population (East Finland). The LD data consist of 118 unrelated individuals and around 480,000 SNP pairs genotyped with the Affymetrix 100K genotyping assay. Using the minor allele frequency (MAF) limit...
